Cellular Retinole Acid-binding Protein in Virus-induced Shope Papillomas of Rabbit Skin1
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cellular retinole acid-binding protein (cRABP) was detected in the cytosol of virus-induced papilloma (Shope) of rabbit skin. The Shope papilloma cRABP showed the same ligand specific ity and sedimentation value (2S) as was found in other animal species. The level of cRABP in the papillomatous tissue was significantly higher than that in the normal rabbit skin and increased in accordance with the growth and development of the tumor, reaching a peak about 40 days after the inoculation of the Shope papilloma virus. Although this binding capacity was about 15 times greater than in the normal skin, the level of cRABP in the transplantable carcinomas Vx2 and Vx7, both originating from the virus-induced papillomas over 20 years ago, was much the same as in normal rabbit skin.

Fluorescent Antibody Detection of the Antigens of the Shope Papilloma Virus in Papillomas of the Wild and Domestic Rabbit
The results obtained by a fluorescent antibody study of the Shope papilloma virus in papillomas of the wild and domestic rabbit are presented. In the wild rabbit papillomas the viral antigens occurred exclusively in the nucleus and were present in the differentiating cells of the keratohyaline layers and in the keratinized layers. The antigens were not present in the deeper proliferating epithe...
متن کاملStudies of the Mechanism of Action of the Shope Rabbit Papilloma Virus
These studies make plain that the Shope papilloma virus induces the production of an arginase in rabbit squamous epithelium, and provide evidence that the information for the synthesis of the enzyme is derived from the virus rather than the rabbit. This form of induction is therefore different from that brought about by chemicals such as galactosides (36). Striking differences were shown betwee...
متن کاملAre Animal Tumor Viruses Always Virus-Like?
Three tumors initiated by well characterized viruses, but in which virus is not detectable by ordinary virological techniques, are discussed. The question of the possible state of the virus within these seemingly non-infectious tumors is considered, largely from the standpoint of findings with the rabbit papilloma virus. This agent in its natural host, the cottontail rabbit, is infective, can b...

In the great majority of cases, the pathogenicity of the Shope papilloma virus is lost after transfer from cottontail to domestic rabbits. There is adequate evidence that the virus is present in the papillomas arising in domestic rabbits, for such animals develop neutralizing and complementfixing antibodies. :Further, the intraperitoneal inoculation of extracts of noninfectious papillomas resul...

In 1933, Shope (14) described a virus-induced papilloma occurring naturally in the cottontailS rabbit (genus Sylvilagus) and transmissible to the domestic rabbit (genus Oryctolagus). Later, Rous and Beard (13) found that the experimentally in duced papillomas in domestic rabbits often pro gressed to carcinomas; and Syverton and Berry (16,17)observedthesamephenomenon incotton tail rabbits.
